Hope you all have made a string quilt before. I love to use up my left over pieces of material from previous quilts. This helps to get rid of a lot of material. You do have to sew these strips on a foundation and mine were 10 1/2 inches, after pressing and squaring up these blocks are now 10...

machine quilting with a singer Featherweight.
The videos and blogs that I looked at said 4 basic things: since the...

I have a lot of 2 1/2 inch squares that I have been saving. This is from left over material that has been made into quilts. What kind of block or quilt can I make with 4 sq's, 6 sq's, 8 sq's or 12 sq's. I can use some ideas if anyone has can help.

Hello All,
Well I finished all my hot pads, think there were 17 hot pads made. I was going through some of my stash fabrics and found two fabrics that were the same design but just different background colors and got the idea of making another Lavender Love quilt which I made a few months...

I finished the pants, sort of. I decided to go with the elastic in the
pants, but I cannot actually do that until I buy the elastic, but I did
sew the crotch seam and make a casing for the elastic.
I looked at the seams, and what I originally did was the suggestion made
that I make it into a...

Hello All,
Well after making 2 more butterfly quilt tops, each being smaller than the previous one because I made a mistake while cutting them out. Instead of cutting out 5 1/2 inch squares, I instead cut some 5 inch squares and it was only after I had cut 15 sets of these discovered my...

square, then let it sit for a while (sometimes a few days, sometimes as

This quilt is not the batik material that I used before. This time I just used 2-5 1/2 inch print squares for front wings, then another 2-5 1/2 inch solid/or mini print squares of contrasting material for back wings and then drew a line crosswise on each 2 1/2 inch white Kona material squares(need...

Hello Barbara,
Thank you for your comments about making quilts. Is this the only quilt or fabric newsgroup that you know of?? It just seem like some have left our newsgroup. Just hope Brian never leaves because I depend on his help so much.
